I don't think RQ ever had the potential to rival AD&D/D&D. However, Worlds of Wonder was a reall missed opportunity to provide the gaming world with what Steve Jackson did later. If only they had nailed down the system as a good, solid basis for infinite spin-off settings. Not that I hate GURPS, but I don't think it hangs together as elegantly as BRP.
And that's the other trick Chaosium missed. WoW is a hell of a lot better as an acronym than either BRP or GURPS.
